Over the course of the project we have been able to get better, cleaner scans from microfilm reels. We have used the reader/scanner to help patrons research many topics and have been able to get usable photographs off of the reels. Staff, volunteers, and research center patrons have found that the machine is easy to use and offers many more options when scanning.
In the long term, RCHS staff will continue to work with the OCR premium software to make scan-able PDF prints. This will help the research information grow and become more readly available for researchers.
